The programme is designed to give
first year university students a real insight to life as a
commercial lawyer and the work that we do at Baker McKenzie.
Our aim is to equip students with
the skills and knowledge that they need to pursue their career when
they return to university; this will be done by a series of
interactive workshops, shadowing, networking and one-to-one sessions
with graduate recruitment. The first year insight scheme will take
place in our London office.
To be eligible for this programme,
you must be in your first year of study at a UK university.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Baker McKenzie has a culture of
diversity and inclusion in its DNA - since our beginning, the
differences of our people have helped us to work fluently across
borders, cultures and practices. This is intrinsic to everything we
do and underpins Baker McKenzie's vision to be the global law firm
of choice. We understand that organisations work best when people
with different backgrounds and points of view are brought together.
We also know people perform at their best when they can be
themselves at work. Baker McKenzie is committed to serving our
clients with innovative solutions brought about by a diverse talent
pool and an inclusive community.
The London office mirrors the
wider firm in encouraging the best people, regardless of race,
culture, religion or belief (if any), gender, gender identity and
expression, disability, sexual orientation or age, to fulfil their
professional aspirations with us so as to create an exciting and
diverse legal environment.
